Titles: Love is the most precious and the most chewed word. (Chelvani) 'Ahankaraka' to 'Kahankaraka', 2 tribal characters. 'Kahankaraka', the one who tells the story is the narrator and 'Ahankaraka', the listener of the story. The two spend years at a loss for each other and eventually wander into the terrifying forest to find each other. Then the two suddenly meet at a lake and the 'storytellers', enthusiastically start telling one story after another. The 'Ahankaraka' enjoys Katharas with great eagerness. Both hunger and thirst are forgotten. He becomes so engrossed in the stories day and night that he faints without food or drink and finally dies there. On the other hand, their wives worry about their husbands. Now both the wives go to search in the forest. Hot sun, storm, rain, forest fire… After crossing everything, the two wives find only the skeletons of their husbands near the lake. Seeing this, the two Dukhiyaris get confused that which skeleton belongs to whom? A monk passes by. Wives fall at the monk's feet and ask: 'Sir, which skeleton is whose?-how to identify it?' Sadhu laughs and says, 'It is very easy. Weigh, the one whose skeleton is heavy is the 'Ahankaraka' because it used to store knowledge and the one whose 'skeleton' is light is the 'Kahankaraka', softened by the gift of knowledge. But yes, don't consider either of the two to be small or big. Both of them were incomplete without each other, when they met each other, their life's work was completed and that is why the two passed away together.' In this 'Warli Adivasi Bodhkatha', the mystery of life of two incomplete without each other is described easily. But you will think why this story today? So read, after the interval… the interval usko kasam lage jo bichhad ke ek pal bhi jiye, hum bane, tum bane, ekduje ke liye. (Anand Bakshi) Adivasi Bodhkatha used to be about two men but today a blood-soaked romantic story of an odd couple who are incomplete without each other is being told. In the 1970s in a small country like Uruguay, Jose Mujica and Lucia Topolensky were members of the violent left-wing party 'Tupamaros'. Jose leads a group of armed rebels, while Lucia is an expert in forging documents. Both of them robbed banks together and broke prisons many times to achieve anti-government but pro-social goals. The two did not hesitate to commit any crime for the sake of the ideal of communism. Because his communist group fought against the oppressive brutal government that had occupied Uruguay for years. Jose was 37 and Lucia was 27 when they met for the first time during an undercover bomb operation. Joss, now 89, recounts his love story with Lucia: 'We fell in love passionately in the middle of a bloody war. Our first night was spent hiding on the hill amidst the shelling and shelling. Then the two of us were jailed. We were constantly tortured in jail. We spent 13 years under government repression in separate prisons, in which we could only exchange 1 letter. The rest of the letters would have been confiscated by the prison officers!' Think, only 1 letter in 13-13 years between two lovers! Then in 1985 the Uruguayan dictatorship fell. Jose-Lucia, released from prison. They met each other again after 13 years but their love was still alive and intact. After that, José and Lúcia took their allies in the political struggle to make Uruguay one of the strongest democracies in the world and succeeded in doing so. In all these struggles, Jose and Lucia, released from prison, remained together for 20 years each, but never married. In 2005, a TV In an interview for the show, Jos suddenly revealed: 'We're going to get married!' Then Lucia got an unexpected surprise. Even on the simple wedding night, the two did not go on a honeymoon but went to a political rally like a committed politician! José was elected President of Uruguay in 2009, and Luciani became Vice-President in 2017. In addition to such a rough political life from violence to democracy, he built a small farm-house outside Uruguay to spend his later years. Where the two grew flowers and went to sell the flowers in the market like normal people. Can anyone imagine that we would show such simplicity to the former President or PM? Being in prison for 13-13 years made her too old to have children, so many dogs were raised as children in the farmhouse. Those who held guns grew flowers in their hands and those who robbed banks kept meager stalls in the market. Violent shakers started to love dogs! Now elderly Jose has esophageal cancer and his voice weakened by radiation says, 'The definition of love changes at every age. Love seems like fireworks when you are young and that same love becomes a sweet habit in Budhapa. I am alive only because of Lucia's love.' As in that tribal parable, here too two persons complement each other and make life complete….that's the point, isn't it? End-titles: Adam: We two are one. Eve: Mm? So give all your passwords.
